But other than that it was a good trip!  Packed full, but not too full of you know what I mean, so that you actually get to enjoy relaxing away from work for a little while. Sometimes I feel like all my vacations nowadays just revolve around food. Just fill in the spaces to get to the next meal. Not that I’m complaining,…
